Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Don't be so anxious, Hana." The supermarket manager Nono Moritaro smiled faintly at his daughter who could not change her reckless nature. The middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples just patted his daughter's shoulder as usual.

"Look, your clothes are all wet. Go to the locker room and change your clothes before coming back."

"Yes!"

Seeing his daughter's hurried back, the man couldn't help but sigh.

"What did you do again? Flowers."

He knew that his daughter seemed to be hiding something, and he and her mother had noticed it.

No matter how well she hid it, as parents, how could they not notice the extremely tired expression that their daughter occasionally showed over the years.

However, she never mentioned these things. Even if she hinted at them, she would just laugh it off by saying that it was her own recklessness. But it was a fact that these hidden things brought suffering to her daughter.

This time, the company that Nonoka had opened with great difficulty went bankrupt, and her life, which had finally improved, fell into a slump again. Not wanting to worry her loved ones, she hid all her suffering with her smile as always, letting them see it with their own eyes and feel the pain in their hearts.

Xiaohua, since you don’t want to say it, Dad will never ask any more questions. We will support you.

But no matter what you want to do, never lose!

"Boom——"

A loud noise coming from a distance interrupted his thoughts, and the man immediately ran to the window and looked towards the source of the sound.

“It’s over—!”

A pitch-black monster with a violent expression on its face roamed the road, overthrowing everything that stood in its way and punching huge holes in the asphalt with its fists.

"Another monster! But, Pretty Cure defeated a monster not long ago!"

Moritaro ran back in the direction he came from, and along the way he told his employees and customers to evacuate quickly to the emergency exit, looking very skilled.

In fact, he was indeed very familiar with these things. After all, this phenomenon of monsters suddenly appearing and wreaking havoc on the streets had been going on for more than eight years, forcing everyone to become familiar with them.

Every time, the pink Pretty Cure will appear and cheer for everyone, and the Cure Yell (Cheer Angel) will defeat these monsters and restore peace to the city.

Over the past eight years, no matter when or where, she, wrapped in pink light, stood opposite the hideous monsters without hesitation and never lost even once.

This time, it will definitely...

"flower!"

There was no response when he knocked on the door, so the man who broke open the locker room door saw an empty room.

Have you escaped yet, flower?

"Why? I just defeated the Terminator not long ago... Why...?"

Nonoka, standing on the roof, looked at the End Monster in the distance who was shouting "It's over!", and for a moment she was not sure whether the other party was shouting to her.

“Now I am…”

The strain of continuous combat and the negative impact it has on the body from prolonged fighting without rest are immeasurable.

The hands holding the pink transformation phone "Heart of Light" and his own "Future Crystal Pink" were trembling slightly.

but.....

Nonoka raised her head again, no longer showing any fear or timidity on her face. Her beautiful eyes, when opened again, were once again filled with the gaze of a warrior.

“I have no choice but to go up!”

The Crystal of the Future, which no longer shines as brightly as before, is once again placed on the Heart of Light.

"Mind—flash!"

"Hold on to this shining future! Cheer everyone on———cough cough cough!"

The tightness in her chest caused the girl to start coughing in the middle of her roll call.

For some reason, the energy of Asuka, the source of Pretty Cure's energy, seems to have disappeared from her body...

"The following is omitted. Next——"

Gather enough strength and leap towards the direction of the Terminator monster.

Hold on, my body!

【Bonus】Case File 3: The Crimson New Warrior

“Aa ...

Her strength was nearly drained, and she could no longer dodge. Facing the massive fist coming towards her, the girl could only barely hold her arms out in front of her to defend herself. The moment she was struck, a scream like a broken string escaped her throat, and she turned into a pink streak on the horizon and flew away into the distance.

"Clang!"

The girl's body smashed through the brick wall, and her lower back, which had just been injured in the last battle, broke the solid steel bars. The intense pain almost took her consciousness away in an instant. Nonoka finally stopped on a water tower between high-rise buildings. The accumulated water leaked out of the concave tower, and continued to flow out from the girl's back, soaking her body. The biting cold also awakened her mind.

Nonoka, who had just finished a battle not long ago, took up her sword and went into battle again without any rest. The remaining injuries from the last battle had not recovered even under the effect of the Pretty Cure's "Ashima Energy", not to mention the inexplicable disappearance of a lot of energy from her body. She was almost forcing herself to fight the enemy when her own condition was less than 20%.

Even if he wanted to summon the invincible Holy Sword of Melody, he no longer had the energy.

I wanted to say something, but the sweet taste in my throat blocked my words.

Not only that, it seemed as if he had reached a critical point. The old injuries that had not had time to recover in the past eight years, and the hidden injuries left because he did not go to a regular hospital in order not to worry his family and friends, almost broke out at this moment.

pain....

It hurts...it itches...it hurts so much! It really hurts! There's not a single part of my body that doesn't hurt!

She had lost even the strength to struggle to get up. The pain in her body even made this strong woman despair of someone killing her. The sound that kept coming out of the girl's throat was like a lark with broken wings.

Finally, have I reached my limit?

Is it too late to fight until today? But, as a Pretty Cure, I should protect everyone... But, it hurts so much, and I have no strength left. I don't want to fight anymore...

"Pretty Cure!"

All I could hear were the calls of others.

"Pretty Cure, please!"

"Pretty Cure, save me!!"

After losing Nonohana as its target, the Terminator turned its attention to the fleeing citizens. As people who had been protected for eight years, they immediately began to cry out for help to their beloved savior.

"Clap."

Falling from the tower to the ground, the impact on her legs, which she could have ignored before, almost made her unable to stand up for a while. Nonoka stood in front of the Terminator again.

"Yeah, I'm Pretty Cure..."

If I give up, how many people will be hurt, how many people will lose their loved ones, if I give up, their future will be taken away.

"I will defeat the ultimate monster that hurts everyone. I will fight. I will protect everyone's future..."

Muttering words to herself like hypnosis, Nonoka raised her trembling fist again amid the cheers of countless strangers whom she had always protected.

"Come on, I'll be your opponent..."

[Whoosh!]

Several crimson rays of light struck the Terminator Monster, which raised its fist high. Sparks instantly burst from all the places attacked, and the monsters fell backwards wailing. The sound of their collision with the ground was even more deafening!

"despair!"

Nonoka was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening, when the crisp sounds that suddenly echoed around her suddenly touched her tense spirit.

"despair!"

Another noise! ​​Nonoka took deep breaths to calm herself down and tried to find the source of the sound by listening, but the sound didn't seem to come from a certain direction at all. It felt like she was in the center of an iron barrel and someone was constantly knocking on the outer wall. The echoes kept reverberating, making it impossible for her to tell the source of the sound.

“Tick!” “Tick!” “Tick!”

The crisp voice seemed to have no consideration for her feelings at all, and kept pressing towards her from all directions. She didn't know where the attacks from friends and foes might appear. The feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake went around Nonoka's spine. The pressure accumulated from the battle until now suddenly surged, almost making her collapse!

"Here."

As if tired of this kind of game, a slightly lazy voice came from above.

"You, you are?!"

Nonoka, who was about to say something, was stunned. Looking at the red face that seemed to be burning in flames, she was completely speechless for a moment.

A flame symbol was painted across the chest of his fiery red combat uniform, and the edges of his helmet's visor, which completely covered his face, were shaped like flames. Standing atop the tower, the red warrior tapped the back of his strange pistol in his right hand against the wristguard of his raised left hand, the crisp sound emanating from there.

Bathed in the scorching midday sun, the strong sunlight from behind left him in front of a dark place, and only his silver lips with a slight smile could be seen.

This is Ash who has transformed into [TIME FIRE].

"Who... who are you?"

Is it a new terminator? A new enemy, or...

Or...?

A wish that had long been abandoned resurfaced from Nonoka's heart.

"who knows."

The man's incongruous answer almost made the nervous Nonoka's legs go weak and she fell to the ground.

"I don't know who I am either." The dark shadow faded away as he raised his head slightly. Cure Yell's miserable face was reflected on Ash's dark goggles.

"But I really want to find a target to practice shooting at."

"Ultimate Monster!"

The unwilling Terminator shot a dark light at the red warrior. Seeing this, Ash jumped down from the railing, raised the [DV Guardian] in his hand, aimed at the huge body and pulled the trigger.

The light created a series of traces behind the warrior as he fell, and the continuously emitted red light once again penetrated the monster.

Nonoka's gaze happened to meet the gaze of the red warrior who was standing up after falling down, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

Who are you?

【Bonus】Case File 4 A Different Warrior

Nonoka's doubts were not answered. The unknown red warrior just moved his steps and pulled the trigger again and again.

The huge fist was swung down heavily and slowly, and the propulsion device under his feet sprayed air. Ash went upstream in the direction of the attack, and his movements were so smooth and effortless that it seemed as if he was teasing the enemy.

Flame's goggles began to automatically play a video about how to use the "DV DEFENDER" in his hand, but Ash no longer needed it because he had already remembered his past fighting methods.

The DV Guardian covered with a dinosaur shell turned several times in his hand, and after pressing the red button in the center, it injected more energy into it.

"DV conversion, Vulcan gun mode."

After switching the scattered high-speed light bullet shooting to a focused output beam irradiation mode, and then to the high-output beam Vulcan gun mode, the red light extending from the muzzle was like an infinitely long beam giant sword, and as he swung his palm, a series of pink sparks exploded on the Terminator Monster.

Each beam of light exploded at the perfect spot on the Terminator's vulnerable part. Nonoka had spent many years figuring out the weaknesses of the Terminator, and now the new warrior could easily exploit them.

Seeing this scene, a sense of frustration surged in Nonoka's heart, and the desire to ask the other party became stronger and stronger, but the arm that wanted to move was still in severe pain. After a struggle, Nonoka chose to stay where she was.

Not only Nonoka herself, but also the ordinary people around who had just escaped danger noticed this new warrior.

"Come on! Unknown Red Warrior!!"

Even though they didn't know the other party's identity and purpose, since they were fighting the Terminator, they must be here to protect them. People who always believed in this gave their cheers.

The new warriors showed a strong fighting ability that would put an end to the monster's tricks, giving them hope after Pretty Cure was defeated.

"Terminator Monster!!" Being attacked again and again on its vital parts, the Terminator Monster let out an earth-shaking roar of unwillingness.

Seeing the tired look of the End Monster, the people cheered even more enthusiastically.

“It’s so noisy…”

What do they think they are doing, a happy festival?

Ash complained quietly, not sure if he was complaining to the Terminator or the people cheering for him.

"But it's time to end it."

The End Monster, who had been suppressed for a long time, was so angry that he could no longer bear it. The monster roared and smashed its giant hand in front of him and pushed it all the way over, preparing to launch an AOE attack to crush him.

"DV conversion, Guardian Sword." Faced with this scene, Ash was not panicked at all. He issued a voice command while pressing the button on the gun. With the sound of mechanical driving, the dragon-head-shaped muzzle of the pistol closed and extended a sharp blade, and the grip also straightened to become a hilt.
